ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT Since The Last Time (2006 Japanese promotional sample 13-track CD, with custom printed inner rim of the disc, lyric booklet, Japanese translated booklet & promo stickered obi-strip PCCY-01800). In March 1965, when LIFE photographer Bill Eppridge spent time on assignment with Judy Garland's enormously talented daughter, Liza Minnelli was just turning 19 and.
Will Arnett spent years toiling away on failed sitcom pilots before the script for Arrested Development came to him in 2003. 'I instantly knew it was different,' he tells Rolling Stone. 'It was funny on the page. I've worked on things that had moments that were funny, but this was funny on so many different levels.
I remember we were first shooting this big scene in Lucille's penthouse in the pilot. I was looking around the room and thinking, 'This really works.' That's a rare feeling.' When the show went off the air in 2006, Arnett stayed in demand: he teamed up again with Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz on the short-lived Running Wilde and had a recurring role as Devon Banks on 30 Rock. He also did a lot of voiceover work in animated films.
Rolling Stone spoke with him about returning to the role of G.O.B. In the new season of Arrested Development, which premieres on Netflix on May 26th.
Are you working on any new projects at the moment? I'm working on a science project. Do you feel that, in hindsight, Arrested Development belonged on HBO or a network like that? Maybe at the time it did. I guess it did.


I almost feel like the show has never been more popular than it is right now. It sounds pretentious to say 'it was ahead of its time,' but compared to what else was out there and what was successful in the ratings, it was very different. Also, things like Netflix didn't exist back in 2003. There was HBO and that was kind of it. Did you always have faith that the show was going to come back someday?
I really did. Not just sort of blind faith. I knew the whole time that Mitch was working on various things and I knew he wasn't just gonna go away.
I knew it was going to come down to him just being able to pull the elements together. Virtual Villagers Cheats For Android more. It was just more a question of when. It happened in the best possible way. You know, forever it was going to be a movie.
I don't think anybody saw it coming as an anthology or whatever we're calling it... Whatever it is. I don't think anybody saw this.
But once Mitch laid out to everybody what the plan was, it was obvious it was the only logical move. Tell me about the first day of filming. What was it like to walk back onto that set and see everyone back in character? Remember that iconic shot in The Right Stuff, all those astronauts with steam coming up? It was so unlike that. It was whatever the opposite of that is. [laughs] No, it was great.
I'm trying to think... My first day of shooting was with Jason [Bateman], but the first day all of us worked together was amazing. Everybody was kind of nervous. I remember we walked in, we were shooting at Lucille's penthouse set. I could tell everybody in the crew kind of gathered around to shoot the first scene.
